Unfortunately, those like Hegseth have no sense of honour, only self interest and bigotry directed against those they deem "other".

Pretty decent win in the end. Contributions of Brook in the first innings and Gay in the second being the critical difference imo.

And there we go.

Just needs one mistake or one good ball. Or one bit of pitch misbehaving.

Looks like Hegseth deserves another (dis)honourable mention here too.

Just listened to some American talking head going on about how the US is totally right to go all in on AI and data centres for reasons that boil down to basically "we good, China bad, we do it or they do" and that "the wars of the future will be fought with AI". That would be the most insanely hubristic and self destructive sentiment I had heard today if I hadn't heard about the possibility of Leicester appointing Martin as manager.

Unfortunately, it appears that a fair few people do need or are asking for it. Whether the BBC should be pandering to the questionable character and objectives of those people is another question entirely.

The powers that be when it comes to cricket really don't do themselves any favours sometimes.

I'm not sure tbh, there are places that fit at least two thirds of the criteria Stan talks about above and people still look down their nose at them because they're "foreign" and/or their system of doing it appears somehow squicky to them.

As per above, hypocrites in the deepest sense possible.

Been a decent 36 hours for game reveals.

Well, that current US administration are one and all hypocrites, so it tallies.

I'm not sure, I think the man above him could give him a run for his money in that department. At least Vance has something of a functioning faculty for planning ahead.

Shit-stirring ethnonationalist reptile.

I think the seeds were in place before that, Covid just expedited the process. Here's hoping as a species we get over our need for such tribal insanity before we have a proper crisis popping up to test our mettle.

No matter, reeled in the bigger fish a couple of balls later anyway.

254 it is, then. Hopefully that's enough.

I really wish that the Tolkien Estate would pursue civil legal action against Peter Thiel and his fellow sociopaths for absolute misuse of the terms and names that JRRT first created.

Also, a batter getting hit in the pills will never not be funny

Think England are better than 50/50 to defend the current total in these conditions imo. Get the target up to 275+ and it becomes pretty near certain.

That's a blow - really talented actor in everything he did.

Staggering towards a defendable total here.

Suddenly looking unsteady again.

Technical issues leading directly to cost issues. Salt water corrodes practically every metallic system it's part of over time.

EG getting into the groove now.
